Keep engine air intake screen and cooling fins clear 
at all times. 
2.1.6.  Add fuel to tank of the machine outside 
where fumes can safely dissipate. Make sure fuel 
filler cap is tight. Refer to engine owner’s manual for 
fuel specifications. 
2.1.7.  Adjust position of operator’s seat.  The seat 
is mounted on slides.  Locate latch lever beneath 
the seat.  Move lever towards the left and slide seat 
to the desired position.  Release latch. 
2.1.8.  Place mower in desired cutting height 
setting.  Grasp deck lift lever and depress release 
button located at tip of lever.  Move lever to desired 
setting, 1 thru 7, and release latch. See Figure 1.1. 
IMPORTANT: This machine is equipped with 
hydrostatic drive. The forward and rearward movement 
of the mower is controlled by a joystick lever. Joystick 
operations should be performed only from the 
operator’s position in the seat. A small movement of 
the joystick can cause the machine to move instantly. 
Move joystick very carefully and slowly.
  
 
ROLL RELEASE: To roll the machine without the 
engine running, pressure within the hydraulic pumps 
must be released. There is one lever on the upper right 
side of each pump that is used to release the pressure. 
Rotate lever counter-clockwise and secure in that 
position. See Figure 2.3
